This weekend, Ljubljana – Tacen will
host the ECA Open Canoe Slalom European Cup as a part of the ICF World Ranking
Race and the competition will serve as a part of the selection process for the
Slovenian, Italian and Croatian canoe slalom national team.
For Slovenian paddlers on both days
the first run will count as a selection race (Saturday – 1st heats run, Sunday
– semifinal), and the remaining two selection races will be held a week later
in Krakow. Benjamin Savšek, Luka Božič and Peter Kauzer are prequalified to the
Slovenian national team in canoe slalom based on the last year’s success, while
Ajda Novak and Eva Terčelj are prequalified in the kayak cross. For the Italian
national team the race this weekend in Slovenia will be a second one, while the
final selection race will be in Ivrea on 29th April.
In addition to all the best Slovenian
and Italian paddlers as well as Croatian representatives, competitors from the
Netherlands, Austria, France, Canada and Hungary will compete on the Sava River
this weekend.
On Saturday, the heats will begin at
10.00, when the women’s canoe and men’s kayak events are on the programme. The
second heats run of the men’s K1 is scheduled for 12:00. In the afternoon part
of the schedule, starting at 13:55, the heats in women’s kayak and men’s canoe
will be held, while the second heats run will start at 15:15.
On Sunday, at 10.00, those Slovenian
paddlers who will not qualify for the semi-finals of the European Cup will be
the first to paddle down the course, and with this run they will gain a result
for the selection races, and at 10.30 the semi-final races of the ECA Open
Canoe Slalom European Cup will follow. Here, women’s canoe paddlers will
compete first to qualify for the finals, followed by semi-final runs in men’s and
women’s kayak and men’s canoe. At 14.30, the finals of all events are
scheduled, and at 16:20 the awards ceremony will conclude the competition
weekend.
